Reasonable adjustments at Computer Science

Reasonable adjustments at Computer Science

If you have a disability or other long-term medical or mental health conditionith, UCL will support you through your studies by making reasonable adjustments to how your programme is delivered and assessed. The aim of reasonable adjustments is to ensure that all students are able to demonstrate the full extent of their academic abilities, irrespective of a disability or long-term condition. Students whose modules include examinations can also apply for special examination arrangements (which Student Disability Services can help with as part of the reasonable adjustments procedure.)

Forms of adjustment (i.e. support we can offer)

Reasonable adjustments can take a wide range of forms (as per the Academic Manual), for example:

Additional tuition and library access

Support mechanisms and workload planning

Ensuring appropriate physical access to facilities

Providing materials in an alternative format

And via special examination arrangements:

Additional time

A separate room

Rest breaks

Specialist equipment

Declaring a condition

In order for UCL to support you, we need to understand your needs. We therefore encourage you to declare your disability, either fully or partially, as soon as possible. You can do this either at application stage/ pre-enrolment via an Applicant Support Questionnaire, or contact Student Disability Services directly at any stage during your studies to request a confidential appointment. A member of the Student Disabilty Sevices discuss your support needs with you and agree appropriate follow-on actions, which may include:
